Abstract

This paper examines a two-echelon agricultural product supply chain with a producer and a processor and the demand of the market in influenced by the retail price and the level of low-carbon technology. The optimal solutions in the decentralized and centralized agricultural product supply chain with or without low-carbon technology are studied. Based on the solutions, it's found that no matter the producer researches on the low-carbon technology or not, the order quantity and the total profit in the decentralized agricultural product supply chain are less than that in the centralized one. While researching on the low-carbon technology, the level of low-carbon technology in the decentralized agricultural product supply chain is also lower than that in the centralized agricultural product supply chain. To make the decentralized agricultural product supply chain perform as well as the centralized agricultural product supply chain, the coordination mechanism is designed. At last, extensive numerical experiments are conducted to study the behaviors of supply chain members.
